Sendmail and RedHat 6.0

[cdoerbec at cso.fmr.com (Christoph Doerbeck A242369)]

Alrighty,

I have exhausted my patience with sendmail-8.9.1 (whatever the latest is)
and thus I turn to the LUG for help.

I compiled my own local binary using the latest sendmail source code, and
enabled/disabled the following:

	no dns
	newdb
	
and in the m4 config files (which builds the sendmail.cf)

	FEATURE(`genericstable',`hash /etc/mail/genericstable')

Most of everything else is pretty standard stuff (masquerade, relay, etc...)

Notice how I did not specify the '-o' following 'hash' above.  This finally
revealed why the genericstable function was not working.  Sendmail logged that
it could never open the file.  I did confirm that /etc/mail/genericstable(.db)
has good file permissions, but nothing seems to make it work.

Any clues or hints from you folks?  Any word on RedHat 6 and incompatibilities
with Berkley DB?  I had NO compile time-errors.
